Take Root is a monthly curated series that supports dance makers by providing an opportunity to present a paired evening of work. The impact Jeeno Joseph Nadanam Collective made on audiences last week was profound.
Today we are shining a spotlight on Jeeno and his experience at Take Root.
Jeeno Joseph Nadanam Collective’s work explores Bharatanatyam. An Indian classical dance from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. “As a first generation Malayali - American born to parents who emigrated from Kerala to New York, I’ve often felt a lack of representation for the Malayalam language within the Bharatanatyam repertoire. Through this work I hope to explore the beauty of Malayalam musical compositions, poetry, culture and rhythms through the traditional Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam.”
Come to Take Root and support our March artists Grant Jacoby & Dancers and Althea Dance Company.
